but if I missed the thread, could someone point me in the right direction.

Otherwise, I have the popular clunk sound that's been talked about lately. I THINK I have narrowed it down the the drivers side CV's. But I am not sure if it is the inboard our outboard CV joint.

Is it possible to remove the entire drivers side axle without taking apart the rear control arm? It seems like if all 8 CV bolts are removed, the axle and out board CV should pull away from the control arm. Yes? Maybe there isn't enough room with the control arm, heat exchanger, and tranny in place?

thanks for the help guys.

I've had some trouble getting these out as well. I read Haynes to no avail (it was very vague in this respect). What I want to do is to totally remove the axles from the car. (My engine has already been removed) I assumed the outboard CVs were identical to the inboard ones, and that I could just loosen the 4 joints and pull, but this dosn't seem to be true.

Does anyone have better instructions for removing axles? (I searched pelicanparts as wel, to no avail...)
